Pixelmetrix will roll out more of its extensive headend monitoring and IP service validation tools at IBC2007.

The company will fix the spotlight on its new Electronic Couch Potato (ECP) and Consolidator. Key functions include monitoring consumers’ true Quality of Experience (QoE) and intelligent data presentation of end-user experience as meaningful information.

Sharing the limelight are the EndGame, DVShift-S21, DVStor-Flashback and DVStor-DAS (Direct-Attached Storage). EndGame is a complete end-to-end monitoring solution. The DVShift-S21 is capable of buffering content transmitted live to rebroadcast it in a foreign country of a different time zone at the same local time to maintain primetime potential.

The FAA’s current rules and proposed ban on flight over people, requirement of visual line of sight and restriction on nighttime flying, effectively prohibit broadcasters from using UAS for newsgathering. ~ WMUR-TV General Manager Jeff Bartlett
